Default Dual Boot xp & Vista with Vista Already Installed


Dear SysChat

I was reading your tutorial on how to instal xp with vista already installed, i have 2 confusions from it.
1- My Sony Vaio came with Vista Preinstalled and i did not get a Vista DVD. How do i repair the Vista Bootloader?

2- I am not an expert in instaling XP, so i need to know how i can run the instalation of XP. Do I reboot the CPU with the XP cd in the drive or do I double click on it the CD drive?

Please reply asap, as i am having trouble with my work softwares which primarily run on XP.

thanks

fmukaty

For installing XP you will have to boot directly from the disc, that option will come during start-up.

As regards to Vista, I believe you will have to manage to get some disc.
